INSTALLING SOFTWARE ON UBUNTU
The use of the Terminal in most cases is not needed as Ubuntu has the Synaptic Package Manager which allows you to easily install and remove software
Here is the Official Ubuntu Synaptic Package Manager Documentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
If you do need to use the Terminal
Here is the Official Ubuntu Terminal Documentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
To install individually downloaded deb. files then Ubuntu has the GDebi Package Installer (already built in to Ubuntu) which automatically starts up when you try to open a deb.file

You don’t need that tar archive. Just delete it.
Type this into the terminal:
sudo apt-get install jackbeat

I think you need to:
cd /
to the folder first.
(NOTE! This is for Ubuntu/Mint. Example: cd /home/user’sname/Desktop)
